After a series of first-round upsets in the ECAC, order has been restored for the league's final four.

This weekend, the ECAC's top four teams in the regular season -- Yale, Cornell, Princeton, and St. Lawrence -- will vie for the league title during the ECAC championship weekend at the Times Union Center in Albany, N.Y. The prime time semifinal game is a showdown between the top two statistical defenses in the league, as Cornell faces off against defending champion Princeton.

Adding to the intrigue in the Capital District this weekend is that all four teams can potentially advance to the NCAA tournament -- depending on their results and the results of conference tournaments around the country this weekend. Be sure to check out CHN's "You Are the Committee" to explore all of those possible scenarios.
